12-inch life-like Popeye the Sailor by headplay toys

Realistic Popeye

This is Matilija Dam near Ojai in California. For years activists, politicians and even surfers have tried to get it taken down. Faulty from the start, the dam stops needed silt from replenishing beaches for miles, it also is destructive to the endangered steelhead trout population. The scissors and cut line were recently noticed by officials who say they agree with the sentiment ;)

Matilija Dam Graffiti

Black scissors and a dotted line were recently painted on one side of the defunct Matilija Dam north of Ojai. No one has accepted responsibility for the prank and authorities have no plans to remove it. (The paint, that is. The dam itself? That's in the works)
